do yoga more often

I’ll consider it done when I do it 3 times a week regularly for a month.

I hear this is good for the body, but I have not yet tried it

I’ve just done half an hour’s yoga and feel very unbendy but very pleased with myself and uplifted. I’ve decided on a sequence to stick with for now which includes a lot of old favourite poses of mine; I plan to do it three times a week from now on.

I’ve been making yoga more of a priority the past couple weeks and I’m really enjoying it! For me yoga has some ritualistic qualities that are so relaxing that I try to incorporate every time I practice . . . things like having candles and incense lit, softening the lighting, getting into my most comfortable yoga clothes, and of course the music (I know it’s cliche but I LOVE Enya!!!). I’ve had a at least a half hour practice everyday over the past 2 weeks and now it’s something my body craves, which makes it easier to have the drive to practice. I can really feel how the exercise is improving my strength and flexibility . . . next obstacle is balance! :)

I took a semester of yoga my senior year of high school. By the end of it, I felt so strong even though I hadn’t lost any weight. I miss the endurance and mental will power I had attained during the class. Without a teacher pushing me beyond what i thought were my limits, I’m not sure how well yoga is going to work at getting me lean and mean, but it definitely won’t hurt to add this into my regular workout routine.

Also, I’m hoping this and maybe some Pilates will help tame my monstrous thighs (thanks, running).

My goal will be at least once a week. I did it last night, so that’s a good note to start on.

So I was going down the right road after a complete lapse in my Yogic habits while in Israel over the summer (I found staying in bed with the boyfriend preferential to getting up). However, my new routine has been truly interrupted by the arrival of a large (3 seater) sofa and several boxes, as my mother gives me 15 years of my life, neatly packed, in my living room.
No space for yoga now, and my back hurts :(

I did a little yoga last night after not doing it for quite a while. Well, I’m a lot stiffer than I used to be, but it shouldn’t take me too long to get back to where I was.

I would do yoga more often but my yoga space is so limited and I’ve gotten sick of crashing into my couch. I used to do yoga at night, but lately I’m too tired at night, so I’ve started walking in the afternoon instead. But when I buy a house, I hope to have more room to do yoga and I will try to work it into my schedule.

I used to do serious, 90 minute yoga every Thursday. It kicked my ass, but I got strong and flexible.

It’s been a long time. My muscles are NOT flexible. A 30 minute yoga session with intensity hurts. A lot.

This is why I need to practice more frequently!

Last night I was home alone (my roommate went to a movie) and it was so nice to do a little yoga. I’m better about doing it when he’s not there, but I need to get over that. It’s just easy to get distracted when someone else is around. But my body always feels so much better after I pay it some attention.
